photo concord The Nice International Airport is large (the second biggest in France) and modern. The Nice airport is served by direct flights to and from America, most European cities, North Africa and other French cities. No, Nice isn't served by the Concorde on scheduled flights. There are a few Concorde flights, however, during the days of the Monaco Grand Prix (auto racing) and the Cannes Film Festival.

Terminals

The Nice airport has two terminals. Terminal 1 is for international flights, and Terminal 2 is for European and internal French flights. A free shuttle-bus provides service between the two terminals and the parking lots. The shuttle-bus runs every 8 minutes during peak hours and every 15 minutes at other times.

Hints (applicable anywhere in the world): For local trips, make sure you can see the taxi meter before you start (it should not be covered by the driver's coat). For longer trips, request the approximate price before you start, write it down, and show it to the driver (just to make sure there isn't a "misunderstanding" with the language).
